Yeah I've been reading about it all do.
Seems to stir up quite a bit of debate. Some say wash with warm water and soap, some say never go near it with water (except for stews, etc), use only kitchen paper and salt to clean, some say never clean it.
Unfortunately a griddle was not included in the set :(, although I already have a decent griddle pan.

The occasional wash in warm water should be ok
but don't use washing up liquid
